Sad to read about Dag Solstad's passing. Armand V is one of my favorite novels, and T. Singer is fantastic, as is Professor Anderson's Night and Shyness & Dignity. I was lucky enough to interview him a few years ago and he was characteristically brilliant: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...
The Process of No Process: PW Talks with Dag Solstad
Solstad’s two newly translated novels are 'Armand V' (New Directions, May), composed of footnotes to a nonexistent novel, and 'T Singer' (New Directions, May), which follows its protagonist through a ...

This story is astounding - ambitious, long, and strange - and @harikunzru.bsky.social's interview contextualizes it wonderfully.
On the three-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, read a new short story by László Krasznahorkai, plus an interview between the author and @harikunzru.bsky.social on facing the reality of our present moment.

For my newsletter wrote about a question from a recent Q&A that has stayed with me. Doesn’t happen so often, so I paid attention. open.substack.com/pub/querent/...

Grateful to @alexanderchee.bsky.social for telling me about the late Mark Hyatt’s brilliant novel LOVE, LEDA- written pre-1967, preserved by his friends, and published last year in UK and this year in USA. It’s a hypnotic depiction of queer life in London’s SoHo, and Hyatt is a fascinating figure.
